What a defensive play from Braintree Athletics senior Calum McClorey in the final seconds of regulation. Forcing a turnover that leads to free throws with less than a second to go while the Wamps led by one.

Ethan Eli (18) and Owen Kelly (11) led and Jared Coughlin anchored the D in a nail-biter W over Andover. With under 15 seconds Kelly and Dylan Ferndandes hit free throws and Calum McClorey stole the ball to win 43-41! Braintree Athletics Boston Globe Schools Danny Ventura Patriot Ledger sports

Wamps lost to Newton North 48-40 to end a great season. Owen Kelly led w/16, Jared Coughlin (8) and Marcelo Barros (5) kept us in contention. This was a special team who all contributed along the way and should be proud of their run! Patriot Ledger sports Danny Ventura Boston Globe Schools
